#the shows are how to get away with murder (-> sanctuary moon); legends of tomorrow (-> timestream defenders orion)

“I was having an emotion, and I hate that. I’d rather have nice safe emotions about shows on the entertainment media; having them about things real-life humans said and did just led to stupid decisions.” ― Martha Wells, Exit Strategy

Title sequence designs inspired by the real-life shows Martha Wells based Murderbot's favorite shows on.

highlights from the martha wells larry j. ringer public library event today

Murderbot (the TV show)

Ms. Wells has been promoted from a creative consultant to a consulting producer yeehaw!

6 episodes were originally planned but Apple wanted more (never thought I'd be publicly thanking Apple for anything but here we are) so they added a cool new subplot

FILMING WILL START IN A FEW WEEKS in Canada

Does she want to meet any of her characters?

I *think* she said Murderbot wouldn't want to meet her haha

If Kai (from Witch King) had to come save you you'd be "really up the creek" so no

Which character does she relate to the most?

Murderbot ftw

Real TV show inspirations for the serials in the books

Sanctuary Moon = How to Get Away with Murder

Worldhoppers = Stargate Atlantis

Cruel Romance Personage = any telenovela where everyone's obsessed with a hot person even though they're really mean

Timestream Defenders Orion = Legends of Tomorrow

Absolutely obsessed with this interview by Martha Wells, where she reveals that the shows in the Murderbot novels are based on real-life shows. (Sanctuary Moon is How to Get Away with Murder, Worldhoppers is Stargate Atlantis, and Timestream Defenders Orion is Legends of Tomorrow.) 

Anyways, I appreciate this passage from Artificial Condition so much more now, because this is also the emotional reaction that I have while watching certain Stargate Atlantis episodes. (Also, I don’t think I’ll ever stop being amused by the fact that Murderbot’s favorite show is “the space version of How to Get Away with Murder.”)

#art is EXTREMELY valid #it's worth mentioning that stargate atlantis is my comfort show. so. #[points at art getting emotional about worldhoppers] i just think it's neat!!! #shoutout to martha wells for once again being the absolute best #murderbot diaries #murderbot
